Hello, welcome to our pantry.

I’m a wife, mum and home cook from Brookfield in Brisbane with a background in digital design and a lifelong love of family recipes. Like many Australian families, some of our favourite dishes have been passed down through generations, shared on handwritten recipe cards, typed into old family cookbooks and lovingly recreated around the kitchen table.

Brookie Pantry was created to preserve those recipes for future generations. Every recipe begins with an original contribution from a member of our extended family before being carefully edited and modernised by me using today’s Australian measurements, ingredients and cooking methods, while staying true to the heart of the original recipe.

As a mum, I love cooking wholesome meals that bring my own family together, and I believe some of life’s best conversations happen around a table filled with good food.

My hope is that Brookie Pantry inspires you to discover new favourites, revisit old classics and create lasting memories with the people you love.

From our family to yours, welcome to Brookie Pantry from your hostess, Rachael.
